Kristin Donner also shows her making methods in a series of photos
with text.

Anitra Watley Allen
http://home.earthlink.net/~mudling/ceramics.htm
This artist is, I believe, an African-American woman.
She makes Black female sculptures called "Earthlings".
Hand-sculpted of clay, with mixed media additions, they may
be pit fired, glazed earthenware, or raku.

Laurie Fields
http://www.lauriefields.com/ceramics.html
A painter and photographer who makes colourful, strongly graphic
abstract designs on altered ceramic platters and slab pieces.

Louise Pentz
http://www.pentzgallery.ns.ca/louisepentz.htm
Nova Scotia potter. Does a very nice line of studio work.
See also her one of a kind raku and pit fired work - her Kelp
bowl, for instance.

Laura Zindel

I wonder why the fly? Is Zindel German for "fly"?
As she herself says, she "goes overboard" in her decoration.
Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't. A chacun son gout.
